As a Spaniard, I fully agree with the author.
This man Zapatero, or ZP as his supporters call him, has been a disgrace for the country right from the start of his mandate.
He, his socialist government and his crowd of national budget-fed supporters have been living on the surplus and the economic bonanza left behind by the previous conservative government.
They are 5 years now, and counting, of spreading-the-wealth-around from the common hard working man to their endless buddies no matter the consequences, and these are now the highest rate of unemployment of the UE, and growing fast (now over the 9%), a recession (-0,2% in the last quarter, and this is only the beginning), the contempt from the neighbouring democracies due to his strong commitment to all the tyrants one can think of in Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, etc.
Looking to the words, background and deeds of Obama is like seeing ZP redux, I can not believe the USA is falling into such a mess, is like seeing one’s worst nightmare taking form in flesh and blood. Is the peacenick ZP, never ashamed for being the first weapons supplier to the world dictators, taking charge of the White House. It is, simply put, terrible, and I do not see how a majority of the American people can be so easily tricked.
As another poster said, do not let the economic crisis by itself blind your thought in such a way. There was another guy in the thirties in a country by name Germany that took advantage of that…
This Obama will be as president a disgrace for the USA as ZP has been, and will continue to be, for Spain. And this is told by a on-the-ground “connaiseur”.
God bless America, and good luck from Madrid to McCain-Palin on November 4th for the sake of the still-free world.
